xor can only return true (1) or false ('' - empty string) and must evaluate both the lhs and the rhs expressions to determine the result. true xor true is false so you got back an empty string.

and and or short circuit evaluate and return the last expression evaluated.

use strict; use warnings; print "$_->[0]: [$_->[1]]\n" for map {[$_, eval]} '0 and 1', '2 and 0', '3 and 4', '0 or 5', '6 or 0', '7 or 8', '0 xor 9', '10 xor 0', '11 xor 12', '0 xor 0', ;
Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
